THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And The Gym
Lenora's Pov:We walked down the long hallway and finally arrived at the dining hall. My eyes scanned through the long dining table, where I saw all the familiar faces. Everyone was already in their seats except for Grandmother. My gaze landed on Richard, who was already seated at the dining table. I scoffed inwardly at the sight of him.I walked over and took the empty seat beside him. I assumed it was reserved for me.“I thought you were buzzing around talking and didn’t have the time to eat.” He whispered and sneered.I ignored him and looked over at Giulia, who sat before us with a smile plastered on her face.My gaze wandered around the big hall, it was well sculpted and designed. It must have been done by the best architect in the city, because it reeks of money.The sound of rolling wheels soon filled the air, and everyone turned in the direction where we sighted Grandmother Minetta.The moment she came in, everyone got on their feet and acknowledged her presence.We sat back
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game wanted swimming
Lenora's Pov:“I thought you wanted to talk.” I said that walking into the gym, I was able to get Jasmine’s description easily, and I ended up at the right place. Luckily, Richard was alone, so I had the chance to talk as freely as I wanted.“How did you find me here?” His brows were raised slightly at me.I knew he wasn’t expecting me here, especially when he knew I'd yet to know my way around.“I have my eyes everywhere.” I rolled my eyes before folding my arms across my chest.He scoffed inwardly.“So what do you want to talk about?” He said, and my eyes followed him closely as he walked to the treadmill. “Everything.” I mumbled.“I mean, how you have been ignoring me over petty things." I gestured.He started working out on the treadmill. My eyes went to his muscles that were rippling under his tight-fitting top. My face instantly flushed upon seeing his rocky abs that were visible under his top, which was already soaked in sweat.“Like how you went to see someone else? I mean
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Out For A Swim
CHAPTER SIXTY NINELenora's Pov:I got along with Richard’s female cousin more than his uncle and aunts, maybe because we are in the same age group. I was told how surprised they were when they heard that Richard had a wife. I mean, everyone knew the man would never find a wife because his nature would be too much for any woman to bear. Afterwards, they told me tales of Richard’s youth. I laughed my heart out hearing that."Richard, was that dumb?” I added in between my laughter.I had been trying to hold it, but I couldn't. Hearing Richard's childhood stories cracks me up.“He is going to kill you if he finds out you spilled everything to her.” Hagine mumbled with her gaze still fixed on her cellphone. I guess she wasn’t just obsessed with late-night swimming, but with her cellphone too.“What about we go swimming?” Jasmine asked, putting down her glass of wine.“But it isn’t night yet.” Hagine frowned slightly, letting her phone slide away from her eyes. “You can stay behind if y
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Invited Tara
CHAPTER SEVENTYLenora's Pov:I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. My eyes were fixed on my ball gown, which fitted so perfectly. I must confess, Yara had done a good job picking out the gown. If she were here, she would probably be teasing me right now. I looked elegant and perfect, and now I look like Osvaldo’s wife. I carried my gown and walked out of the room with my heels clattering on the hard floor. I met Jasmine, Vero, Hagine, and Leeyah, who were waiting outside. A smile instantly crept out of my lips upon seeing them. They had dolled up in their long gown, making them look elegant just as usual.The four looked like princesses; of course, they are Osvaldo’s princesses.“Oh my god, Lenny. You look pretty.” Jasmine gasped the moment I appeared.My face instantly flushed upon hearing that, even though I knew the cloth had fitted perfectly and my hair was perfectly styled by one of the maids in the house, yet hearing the compliment directly from her gladde
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of The Ex's Family
CHAPTER SEVENTY ONELenora's Pov:I turned and saw Tara moving in our direction.“What's she doing here?” I grumbled underneath, squeezing my face. I was a bit worried, hoping the paparazzi wouldn’t get that on camera.She eventually got to us and embraced Richard with a smile that made me quite uncomfortable. She turned to me with a forced smile on her face, and she forced herself to embrace me as well.“It’s not nice seeing you here.” She whispered into my ears.I scoffed inwardly at hearing that.“I never hope to see you as well.” I whispered back. ******“Richard’s mother must have invited her best friend.” Hagine whispered behind me as I stared intently at Giulia having a deep conversation with Sarah, Tara’s mother.Tara and her family were invited to Thanksgiving, and ever since she arrived, it has been as if I was struggling to be beside Richard, she keeps popping up beside us every time, everywhere. I looked over at her; she was sitting on the
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And A Missing Gem
CHAPTER SEVENTY TWOLenora's Pov:I walked out of the room, adjusting my dress as I headed back to the big dining hall. My mind suddenly reeled back to the past event. Tara's expression when I ran into her the other time was crazy enough to only laugh and walk away. I didn’t think much about that and only walked into the hall room.I suddenly stopped in my tracks, seeing the scene before me. Tara was sitting majestically in my seat. I instantly frowned at the sight. Richard can’t even stop her. Hagine gestured for me to come sit on the other chair on Richard's left side beside her. I wanted to ignore her at first and bend hell on sending Tara away from my seat, but I didn’t want to cause a scene, I didn’t want to disrupt the blissful moment, and I didn’t want to leave a bad impression about myself, especially with Grandmother having her eyes on me.I took my feet off and walked over to sit beside Hagine. “You took a long time in there,” Hagine whispered.Tara was the one who took mo
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And The Shopping Mall
CHAPTER SEVENTY THREELenora's Pov:I looked at Giulia and blinked innocently. Tara had accused me of stealing Grandmother’s gem necklace, which must have cost quite a fortune. The sneer she had on her lips the other time was about this. Trying to play dirty?“I don’t think she could steal that.”“I mean, she didn’t even use up to twenty minutes there.” Leeyah shrugged, trying to get me acquitted.“Then are you claiming Tara lied about seeing her come out of there?”“I mean, she was the only one who left the dining hall after everyone had sat down." Sarah added.My jaw slackened.I couldn’t even come up with words to acquit myself due to the shock; now Richard, who could help me out, was nowhere to be found.“What’s going on here?” A soft yet vibrant voice suddenly brought me back to her senses.I looked in the direction and sighted Richard.“Richard, she stole Grandmother's favorite gem necklace.” Tara instantly walked over to Richard’s side and gave an explanation. Richard was quie
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game And A First Love
CHAPTER SEVENTY FOURLenora's Pov:“That belongs to me.” I scowled, looking at Tara, who had a deadly smirk on her face. “No. It belongs to me just like I own Richard.” She announced.“Keep going on with your delusions,” I said, rolling my eyes.“You don’t even know my relationship with Richard, right?”“You might be his wife, but I'm pretty sure he's just using you to make me jealous.”I scoffed at hearing that. “And who are you for him to be doing that?” “Because I’m his first love.” I watched her mutter with confidence.Why does she keep rambling about first love? Is she trying to play another trick on me?“I told you, you will never be with Richard as long as I’m alive.” She said and stomped away.“Are you having a fight with her?” Jasmine asked, walking closer to me. The distance between us was a bit wide, so it might be hard to hear the content of our discussion.“She isn’t someone I can fight with; I might end up breaking her limb.” I said, and Jasmine laughed.“So you let

THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game's End
Epilogue Richard's POVThinking that meeting Lenora when we were little was the most surprising thing ever, I was so wrong. This, that I am seeing right now in front of me, was worse. I was sitting in a chair not to make myself comfortable but because my legs couldn't carry my weight as I was experiencing the shock of my life. “Remo?” Tears welled up in my eyes as my heart shattered over and over again. This has to be a dream, this cannot be true. My best friend is the mastermind behind everything that has been going on.How can I explain to anyone who knows the both of us that Remo is the spy, the betrayal in my life? What did I ever do to deserve this from him? What's my offense? Since when has this been happening? Questions kept ringing in my heart as I stared at the man tied to the chair. His feet and hands were tied up but his eyes stared right back at me. Blood was dripping down his dangerous-looking face, He had been tortured by the men, until he confessed to his crimes.
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE Checkmate
CHAPTER 145Lenora's Pov:I snuggled deeper into Richard's arms. It had been more than two months, everything had been going smoothly. Remo had been able to fish out the spy in the house, it only turned out to be one of the kitchen maids which we couldn’t think of.My eyes scanned through the face over me, I was suddenly tempted by the reddish lips. No matter how I have it, I can’t just get enough of it.Richard's eyes quietly opened up meeting my gaze.“Tempted by my lips?” He smirked.“Of course, I’m not.” I scoffed turning sideways I heard him abruptly over my head.I got out of bed and stepped into the bathroom. I suddenly felt dizzy but ignored it. I had been feeling the same way for a couple of days and I instantly felt it was all because I had been overworking myself.“You okay?” Richard glanced at me. I had stopped halfway trying to regain my balance.“I’m fine,” I mumbled, walking back to him.Later, Vanya came with our breakfast and we ate on the balcony.After breakfast l
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game That Led To The Game
CHAPTER 144Lenora's Pov:My life so far has been really surprising, I kept finding myself at the least expected places. I never imagined I would find myself at a different house calling the mother of the house, my mom.I washed the cabbages with a big smile on my face.“You aren’t done with that yet? Are you thinking of Richard again?” I was teased by my Grandmother again, my real grandma.I instantly smiled hearing her voice.“Mom, you should tell her to stop involving Richard every time.” I pouted childishly, turning to the woman who was smiling the whole time.At this rate, I don’t think we are going to eat our breakfast at the appropriate time. I had decided to spend little time with my newfound family, Richard agreed to it and that was why I had come to spend the weekend with them, I must confirm that it was filled with love and happiness.After taking most of our time In the kitchen, we finally set up a dining table and sat around it to have our breakfast.Being an only child,
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Her Family
CHAPTER 143Richard's POV:After ending my conversation with Remo, I walked out of my room heading for Lenora’s room. I was stopped slightly by Yara again but this time she announced that Lenora was up.I pushed the door open revealing the young lady who was slipping out of her bed.“Babe, I’m just about to come see you. I heard you came here for me.” Lenora's face flushed seeing me.I forced a little smile at her before walking over to her side.“Lenny, what do you know about this?” I suddenly asked bringing out the sketch she had given RemoSeeing it, she looked a bit shocked and absentmindedly.“Where did you get that from?” She asked, looking perplexed.“How did you find that?” She got up completely from the bed walking closer to me.Of course, she must have thought Remo snitched on her and told me.“It’s not what you are thinking. Remo didn’t betray you, I found out by myself.” I added it instantly.Lenora sighed quietly.“I had been having a memory frequently these days and In t

CHAPTER 142RICHARD'S POVThe car finally stopped in front of the building, I slipped my phone back into my pocket and alighted from the car, I stepped on the marble floor before proceeding to the door.Lenora must have missed me, I walked in the direction of her room feeling a bit bad, I had felt a bit bad though, I had promised to stay with her the whole day but I got an urgent call that required me to leave the house instantly.Feeling a bit hot, I decided to head to my room first, I walked directly into the bathroom and took a cold bath. Getting back to the room, I changed to a more free wear before getting out of my room and heading to Lenora’s room.I made an apologetic expression the moment I got to her door but I was stopped by Yara who was smiling all over.“You are here for Ma’am?” She inquired and I nodded slightly.“What about her?” I raised my brow slightlyI had been expecting to meet her, probably on the balcony outside or inside the living room but I was a bit surprise
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game Of Secrets
CHAPTER 141Lenora's PovRichard used to have nightmares?I instantly remembered he talked about them a long time ago when we visited my parent's house, but I didn’t think it was something serious.“You didn’t know about it?” Vanya raised her brows slightly.“He told me one time but I didn’t know it was something serious.” I slightly lowered my head a little.I thought I knew everything about the man I married but there was still a lot that I didn’t know about him.“I understand, He hardly talks about it except to his doctor, and also he stopped having them three years ago but I think they are back.” She added, getting me a bit worried.“Why are they back?” I raised my brows even more.I mean why would they be back now?“I don’t know, something might have triggered it.” She said but I was even more confused.What could have triggered them?“What was his nightmare always about? Did he ever tell you about it?” I inquired“He started having them when he was very young and back then he to
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game's Nightmares 2
CHAPTER 140LENORA'S POVAfter Remo left, I went to the bathroom and took a warm scented bath, in a bathrobe I walked back to my room which strangely felt empty to me, or maybe I was the one who felt empty.My mind suddenly went to Richard, remembering the way I asked to be alone the other time and remembering his expression, I felt a little bad.I took my cell phone and instantly walked out of his room and walked directly to his room. I ran into Vanya who had an expression on her face that I couldn’t read, her face was a little filled with guilt and resentment.“Are you okay?” I asked out of concern.Seeing me, she instantly forced a smile on her face.“I’m fine.” She mumbled.I nodded slightly even though I wasn’t convinced. She instantly left.Ignoring my thoughts, I took my feet and walked to Richard’s room.I placed a knock on his door and strangely he was the one who came to open up. He looked angry the moment he opened up like he was being disturbed by someone, but seeing it w
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game's Nightmares
CHAPTER 139Richard's POVI walked in the direction of my room after Lenora asked to be alone. I was slightly hurt by that but I tried not to show it, I was hurt but yet I was a little worried. Ever since she woke up from her concussion, Lenora had been acting a bit strange and weird. Out of curiosity, I asked her in the car but she said she was okay. I knew Lenora always tried to keep things bothering her to herself and sort it out by herself but I didn’t like that. What if she ended up getting hurt along the way?I walked into my room which was already arranged by Vanya, and my eyes scanned through my arranged clothes.I pulled off the shirt I was wearing and changed into my blue pajamas. I sat at the edge of my bed bringing out my cell phone and checking the internet for the latest update.I suddenly felt a little bored, I felt a terrible headache and decided to take a bath. The headache had begun the previous night but I didn’t think much of it.I made my way into the bathroom a
THE WIFE'S GAMBIT: CONTRACT MARRIAGE The Game To Find A Necklace
CHAPTER 138Lenora's PovI thought I would be able to dive out by myself since Richard had taught me some basic things, but that was a lie. I found myself battling to breathe and fighting for my life.I flayed my arms and legs, attempting to reach the surface, but it seemed too far away.I waited for someone to dive into the pool and help me, but it appeared no help was coming.I started to lose my energy, and quietly, I hit the bottom of the pool. A memory suddenly flashed in my head; I couldn’t understand what it was, but I could see that it was a continuation of the memory I had back at Richard's family house when Tara pushed me into the lake.This time I saw a necklace, very unfamiliar, yet I felt it was connected to me.With that, I slowly passed out, losing consciousness completely. ******“Lenora, are you okay?” I heard a familiar voice over my headI grunted from sleep and managed to push my weak body up. I was lying on a hospital bed, with Ri
